Myrtle Beach after dark

Most visitors' evening is a theatre seat rather than a barstool. The Carolina Opry, the Alabama Theatre and Pirates Voyage run variety and dinner shows that let out around ten and shape the whole town's rhythm. Celebrity Square at Broadway at the Beach is the club cluster, and the Murrells Inlet MarshWalk puts live bands on decks over the creek.

What to eat in Myrtle Beach

Calabash-style is the local format: seafood barely battered, flash-fried and served by the platter, named after the North Carolina village twenty miles north, and delivered through the buffet houses lining US-17. For actual cooking, cross to the Murrells Inlet MarshWalk, where Lee's Inlet Kitchen has fried the same way since 1948. She-crab soup and boiled peanuts are the Lowcountry markers here.

What's actually worth your time in Myrtle Beach

Brookgreen Gardens in Murrells Inlet is the ticket that repays itself: four former rice plantations turned into the largest collection of American figurative sculpture, assembled by Anna Hyatt Huntington from 1931, and admission stays valid seven consecutive days. The SkyWheel on the boardwalk is a pleasant twelve minutes and a photograph. Broadway at the Beach is a shopping centre wearing a costume.

What first-timers get wrong in Myrtle Beach

US-17 splits into Bypass and Business and satellite navigation confuses them constantly, which turns a three-mile trip into twenty minutes. Ocean Boulevard meters run March through October. Glass containers and alcohol are banned on the beach inside city limits. Two separate motorcycle rallies fill the spring, and Memorial Day weekend books out months ahead at rates double the shoulder season.

What things cost in Myrtle Beach

Brookgreen admission runs around twenty-five dollars and is valid a week, which makes it the best value on the coast. The SkyWheel is under twenty. The Chapin Art Museum is free. Metered beach parking sits near three dollars an hour. An all-you-can-eat Calabash buffet lands around thirty; golf packages are where the money actually goes.
